A fit person order, committing a juvenile to the custody of another person other than the parent, could be made by a court if the person who has the custody, charge or care of any juvenile wilfully assaults, ill-treats, neglects, abandons, or exposes the juvenile to unnecessary suffering or injury to health.
El tribunal puede ordenar que la tutela se otorgue a un tercero distinto de alguno de los padres, si la persona encargada de la tutela, la guarda o el cuidado deliberadamente agrede, maltrata, descuida o abandona al menor o lo expone a sufrimientos innecesarios o daños a la salud.
